Her hips move faster and she grinds her mound against my pelvic bone. The pressure builds in my groin, and my balls are ready to burst, but I bite my lip instead, waiting for my girl to come again first.

The pleasure mounts and mounts, and I grunt to hold back. Sage’s movements grow wilder, jerkier, and finally she screams out my name.

I grasp her hips and push her deeper inside of me. Her orgasm squeezes the sides of her pussy, and my cock responds with one of the greatest orgasms of my life. I scream out in pleasure, a hoarse cry on my lips.

She falls onto my chest, and I hold her as our hearts pound against one another, beating together.

I’ve never felt closer to another human being before. I’ve never felt as though someone else’s pleasure would mean more to me than my own release. God, I’ve been a selfish bastard. I’m only thankful that this woman didn’t run out on me.

No. She came back. She came back to me.

“Sage,” I whisper as her breath fans my neck.

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

A small sob escapes her lips, and she covers it with her hand. “I love you, too, Casey,” she says with a sniffle. “I have for a while now.”

My eyes burn from emotion stirring in my chest. I press her body closer to mine. I don’t ever want to let go of her. Even if I lose baseball, or if I lose everything I thought I wanted, I realize at this moment, I don’t ever want to lose her.

Casey

The sun breaks through the horizon as Sage rolls her body toward me. I’ve watched the sky while she’s been sleeping for the past hour, unable to pull myself away. I thought about making breakfast for us, but I’m glad I didn’t or I would have missed the moment she opened her eyes.

They’re soft and kind and she smiles as she stares at me. “Good morning,” she says, her voice still groggy.

“Good morning.” I smile.

“You’re up early. Did you sleep well?”

Nodding, I kiss her lips. They taste like cherry and lemon.

She snuggles her body closer to mine. “Me, too.”

My hand reaches down to cradle her warm ass and squeezes. While my body is ready for more, my head reminds me that there’s a reason I woke up early this morning. A thought grew more urgent as I laid beside her.

“What was the name of that doctor you mentioned in San Diego? The one who helped McCarthy.”

She blinks, thinking. “I don’t remember his name. But I can check the reports I found. It’s in there for sure. Why?”

She’s so freaking adorable when she looks at me with hope in her eyes. I’m sure it’s reflected in mine, too. “I was thinking,maybe, we can go for a drive to San Diego. See if he’s willing to look at my scans.”

Her eyes grow bigger and she licks her lips. I lean down and kiss them slowly, unable to stop myself now that I know that she’ll let me.

“Are you sure?” she whispers against my lips.

I nod. “Yeah.”

I move down her body, but she throws the blanket to the side and scurries off the bed.

I laugh. “Where are you going?”

“I’m so excited. I’ve got to pee.”

My arm lands across my face and I cover my mouth from a fit of laughter. She throws a pillow from the floor at me while she runs to the bathroom. “What? Excitement frazzles my bladder.”
